Make Your Own Corn Husk Doll with Holly Doyle @ Jacobus Vanderveer House and Museum Tickets
Sunday, June 12th
Workshop I at 1 p.m. | Workshop II at 3 p.m.
Perfect activity for scouting troops!
For centuries, corn was the staple grain of the Americas and sustained generations of indigenous people. Every part of the ear was used – from making rope and fill for pillows, to children’s toys and rituals. During Colonial times, when mothers and daughters husked corn for the family meal, they saved the husks and made their own dolls, often adorned with remnants of clothing. Learn how to create your own corn husk doll.
Must be 8 or older to participate. Limited to 15 children per workshop. Pre-registration required. Admission: Adults $10 per person; Children 8 years of age or older $5 per person; Children 7 and Under Free. Register on-line here. Museum open for tours to the general public from 1 – 4 p.m. $10 Admission. Children 12 and Under Free.

As the researchers wrote: “When students struggle in science classes, they may misperceive their struggle as an indication that they are not good at science and will never succeed.” When students learn about how even famous scientists struggled, they began to see that learning and growing from setbacks is part of a successful professional journey.
